They shipped Jala's for almost 2 months before shipping other stuff.  You feel they should have just sat on the Jala product they could ship?

That's what they promised, so yes, they should have sat on them. Don't promise what you won't deliver. In fact, they're still promising it, and they're still not doing it. LIES.

Each product is its' own product.

You order a Jalapeno, you're in the jalapeno queue... Order a single, and you're in the single queue... If they run out of cases and power supplies for one product line, it shouldnt' hold up the other lines.

Of course jalapenos' are going to go faster... they only need one chip to be soldered in place, one heatsink, etc. Compare that with effort to get a minirig out the door, of course the jalapeno line will move faster. And it'd be terrible for production if each station had to be reconfgured based on what product came up in the queue as each worker completed their task.

It is hindsight, so it wasn't obvious. But seeing how things played out, it's understandable. Disappointing for many, I'm sure, but at least its understandable.
